King of the Dark Episode 2: The Shining

We're back with Episode 2 of King of the Dark, our special summer series exploring the worlds of Stephen King. We started our journey last week with King's iconic debut novel Carrie. This week, Liz Braswell, Louis Peitzman and Bill Tipper have packed up for a trip to the Overlook Hotel, and try to answer quite a few questions, including: does a haunted resort pick its victims selectively, or will it settle for anyone who books a room? Are psychic children fascinating or just spooky? And what's the scare factor in being attacked by topiary animals? Plus, a conversation with Melissa Albert, author of The Hazel Wood, about being exposed to a great writer... a little too early.

We're no longer producing new episodes of this show, but you can find us now at Poured Over on Apple Podcasts. Every author has a story beyond the one that they put down on paper. The Barnes & Noble Podcast goes between the lines with today's most interesting writers, exploring what inspires them, what confounds them, and what they were thinking when they wrote the books we’re talking about.
